I'm keeping up with the Jones haha.
Been after one for ages. Had the fixed ratio 19 x 18 for years and always impressed but always wanted to try the RCS so bought another as a treat.
Great mod as universal so can put on any bike. I Bought the 19 x 18 for my zx6 but fitted to blade when p/x'd

Been considering getting the matching Brembo RCS clutch mc but figured I would need another matching Rizoma reservoir so both sides matched up.
Crikey I didn't realise it cost £75 plus another £33 for the bracket. Its nice kit Rizoma but very very expensive IMO.

I must stop looking at this thread......
The reservoirs on the RSV look shite, the lids are well known for getting eaten... I really like the look of those....

I bought the RCS from Cookie a few years back.

The clutches don't tend to come up used from what I've seen sadly.
The RCS is fantastic. I've had two in my time. RC8 has a decent Brembo mc anyway so doesn't need the upgrade IMO.

I'm all spent out at the moment, Blade. I still want to get the wheels powercoated and the bike needs servicing soon so i think thats my lot for a while.
I still want to get a bike cam this summer too.

This thread is basically the argument in my head each time I want some bling for the bike.
